Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits an intermediate to experienced rider who values a light, characterful machine over outright power, and note the extra 800cc quad/ATV specs appear mismatched with this single-cylinder naked bike entry.
PurposeBuilt as a lightweight, boutique naked roadster for spirited street riding rather than long-distance touring or racing.
Rider FitIts low dry weight of 135kg and accessible seat height make it manageable for riders of varying size and experience.
CharacterA quirky, artisanal single-cylinder naked bike that rewards precise, engaged riding with agility rather than raw speed.
Not Ideal ForNot suited to riders wanting high-speed touring comfort, pillion-friendly ergonomics, or off-road capability.

Character map is an editorial estimate based on this bike's specifications, not a lab-tested measurement.

2012 CR&S Cr&s VUN VR1 Road Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 780mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2012 CR&S Cr&s VUN VR1 Road, with a relaxed knee angle of around 120 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
